Canon ZR600 review (camcorder - Mini DV)

For an entry-level camcorder, the Canon ZR600 includes a lot of shooting options, including eight auto-exposure modes, three white-balance choices, nine digital image effects, six shutter speeds, and a level marker that overlays a horizon line on the LCD to help you orient your shot. Of course, Canon's Easy mode will make all the choices for you, if you want to keep it simple.

As you'd expect, the ZR600 doesn't impress with its still photography. Images are grainy and low-resolution, though colors seem relatively accurate. Video fares better. In medium and bright lighting, the ZR600 captures crisp video with accurate color. In low light, the video exhibits noticeable noise, and Canon's Night mode doesn't help.

Despite our gripes, the Canon ZR600 should please the majority of users. Of course, if you have analog videos that you'd like to convert to digital or really think you need a built-in video light, then you'll want to step up to the ZR700. LINKTEXTGOESHERE
